Yellow lab breeding

[Italy592]

I have yellow labs in my 75 gallon fish tank n my one female is pregnant for sure ! Her mouth is kinda big n she isn't eating. My question is should i jus let her be n let her relase the fry when she does or put her in a cage tht is in the tank isolating her ??

What did u end up doing ??

Hey! I just had mine breed as well! I left her in the main tank for about three weeks, stripped her (boy was I nervous!), and put the free swimming fry in their own space. Right after I stripped the mom I placed her in a breeder net for a few hours, fed her, and returned her to the main tank. She has done awesome.

The fry are now eating ground up flakes and algae wafers. Growing larger every day! I love my aquababies!

Awww How cute! How old are they? Good luck with them!!

 

[Cichildlife]

Yes there cute! Did you strip her or let her spit?

Thanks! I stripped the mom on the 9th of September... So their "birthday" I'd say would be the same day. A little bit older than two weeks. They just learned about coming to the top to eat. Previously they would let the crush food sink pass them and they would try to catch it as it went down.

There are seven total.

I'm so afraid to strip my female it's be almost 3 weeks I think

 

[animalzrok2]

what does it mean to strip your females?

 

[Italy592]

It means to take the eggs from her mouth instead of letting her spit them out
